pet travel by road through Europe

Animalcouriers provides a safe, reliable service for pet travel by road throughout Europe and the UK. Our couriers are experienced drivers and our vehicles are customised with comfortable travel compartments and security features. We aim to make pet road travel an affordable service while prioritising the animals’ welfare and safety.

You can follow your pet’s progress on our blog, on twitter and on facebook — or feel free to give us a call

London deliveries are generally made in the evening — it’s quicker, and so better for animal welfare

scheduled or tailored road trips

Depending on timing and destination, your pet may be able to join one of our scheduled trips that enable costs to be shared with other owners. Alternatively we can tailor collection and delivery services to your needs. This includes collecting pets that fly into selected airports in the UK, France and Spain.

Unfortunately we cannot transport small mammals (ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs etc), reptiles or amphibians on UK-only trips. But they can join trips between the UK and Europe in either direction.

travel partners

We have partnership arrangements with Eurotunnel and P&O.

boarding and quarantine

We can organise boarding for your pet at either end of the trip, to bridge any gaps in dates. Whenever possible, this will be using our own home boarding service or a kennels or cattery that we know and like.

If your pet needs to go into quarantine in the UK, Animalcouriers can help you arrange quarantine accommodation and provide transport services. If your pet is waiting for its pet passport to become valid before entering the UK, we can advise on other boarding options in continental Europe. Find out more about our quarantine services.
